WEALTH IN OLD STOVE The honesty of a neighbour to whom she gave an old stove has en- abled Mrs. Martin Conway of Bea- con, N. Y., to chase the wolf away from the family doorstep. Mrs. Con- way's husband died several weeks ago leaving the family in want and Mrs. Conway was forced to sell her possessions one by one to avoid eviction. Unable to find a purchaser for an old stove she gave it to Jay Deeb, who discovered a bag of coins hidden in an oven. Deeb returned the bag without opening it and Mrs. ConVay counted out $4,200. Her husband died suddenly without a chance to reveal the hiding place of hi:; savings. vr- IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Robert Fran- cis Guy, beloved husband of Gertrude Maxie Busselle, who died Oct. 27th, 1923 Peacefully sleeping, resting at last.

Fire totally destroyed the cosy home of Mr. Neil McKinnon, South Line, Glenelg, on Sunday. It start- ed during the forenoon in the wains- cotting from the kitchen stove, and it was extinguished. There must have been a spark dropped between parti- tions, as it was not until late after- noon that it broke out near the roof. Much sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. McKinnon. ANGRY SCENE IN COURT A remarkable scene took place in the Division Court at Thombury on Friday last, during the hearing by His Honor Judge Klein of the case of "Edwards vs. McGowan." It was an action in which the plaintiff claimed fifteen dollars for balance of wages alleged to be due. According to the evidence Edwards, who had been brought to this country by the Direc- tor of Colonization, was employed by the defndant, who is a farmer at Ravenna. Plaintiff was engaged last May by the defendant for a period of six months. He worked for two months and left. The plaintiff claim- ed he was to be paid 132.50 a month for the six months, but the defendant contended that Edwards, being new to the customs of the ""country, was not worth more than f 25 a month for the first three months, and woi^di be worth $40 a month for the remaining three months. At the end of two months plaintiff ceased working for McGowan, and on being asked by the Judge why he left the defendant's service, he said it was because he was not allowed the holidays. The Judge decided in favor of the defendant, whereupon the plaintiff declared that the la^vs of Canada were not as good as in the Old Land. Plaintiff was warned by the Judge not to make such remarks, but continued his insol- ence and His Honor fined him $5 or ten days for contempt of court. When McGowan left the court room Ed- wards followed him and attempted- to assault McGowan who rushed back into court Edwards following and striking him. McGowan appealed to the Judge who held that the assault was not a case for the Division Court and advised McGowan to enter pro- ceedings through a magistrate. Ed- wards paid his fine for contempt of court. â€" Clarksburg News. We are glad to report Mr. Proctor some better since last week, when he took a turn for the worse.

DIRECTORS OF § Funeral Service Modern Funeral Parlor 124 AVENUE ROAI)> Toronto, Gnf- 'Phone Hillcrest 0268 J. W. Bates R. Maddocks Mrs. S. Smith Called By Death In Her 28th Year Keen indeed were the pangs of sorrow when the many friends and relatives of Mrs. Stanley Smith of Rob Roy had learned that she had passed away to the Eternal Home on Tuesday, October 21, 1924. Her maiden name was Miss Myrtle Isa- belle Bristow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bristow, formerly of Rob Roy now of Strongfield Sask. As a flower is plucked in its early bloom so was the life of this young woman who was only 27 years, 10 months of age; just when her life seemed brightest; just when her hopes seemed best. On Monday preceeding her death she was as well as usual and indulged in her household duties, and died suddenlly the next morning after a couple of hours' illness. The deceased was a woman of exemplary character, a fond and unselfish mother, beloved by eveyrone who knew her. Her cheery voice and smile will be greatly missed. We may say her sudden death was just a pass- ing fro;-.: this world of turmoil into that of peace and glory. She was married about ten years ago to her now sorowing husband and resided at Collingwood for a few years after which they moved to East Mountain, near Kimberley, and lived there about four years, from there moving to Rob Roy last December. The funeral was not held until Saturday at two o'clock, being delay- ed in order to enable members of the family to attend. After a brief service in Zion Methodist church, where her pastor. Rev. Mr. Pickering, of Singhampton conducted! a very comforting sermon appropriate to the sad occasion, concluding with suitable references to the Christian life of the deceased, interment took place in Zion church cemetery. .\mong the many beautiful floral tributes that expressed sympathy and devotion were: â€" a pillow from husband and daughter; wreath from father and mother; wreath from Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bristow. brother; wreath from Mr. Walter Smith, brother-in-law and May Leurs, sister-in-law, Edmonton, ."Vita.; spray from Mrs. Hardy, sister; spray from Miss Maude Smith, sister- in-law; spray from the school. Besides the grief-stricken husband one little daughter, Irma, 8 years old, is left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. The pallbearers were: â€" Messrs. Matt. Conron, Will Banner- man, .A.rph. McDermid, Jas. McDonald, Cliflforri and Jos. Freethy of Rob Roy. The friends from a distance were: â€" Mrs Geo. Bristow mother, Stronefield ; Mr. and Mrs. Hardy, sister. Samia; Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, sister. Holland Landing. Many friends from Coll- ingword, St.iyner, 4th Line Artemesia. and EiJarenia were also present. It was a beautiful autumn day, full of radiance and sunshine, which enabled many to attend the funeral. Our profound sympathy is extended to the husband and daughter in their sad bereavement. God hi<ies himself so wondrously, .\s if there were no God. He is least seen when all the powers Of ill are most abroad; .A.nd he doserts us at the hour The fight is all but lost. The place of Jesus filled her breast And in His arms she sank to rest. With fond remembrance we patiently wait To meet her again at the Heaven's Gate, HOUSE OFQ.UAL1TY GROCERIES â€" A full line of fresh groceries always on hand.
